The Neu Bulletin (18th May 2015) • Neu • DIY Magazine

The Neu Bulletin is a daily update of the most exciting new things DIY’s listening to. Think of it as a stream of recommendations that every so often pops up something spectacular. Most of these are Bandcamp finds, big ups from readers or cheeky submissions that pop out the inbox.

Every day we offer up a choice show, a song of the day (branched under the understated heading “Big Neu Thing”) and a little something extra that’s caught our attention. Check back here every day for your latest Neu Bulletin delivery and follow our ‘Listen’-tag for everything new music related.

THE GIG:
Pity Sex, Creepoid, Puppy

London, Hoxton Bar & Kitchen

We just premiered Puppy’s awesome new video, and tonight the lick-hugging newcomers are joined by Pity Sex for the latter’s first ever London headline show. It’s an exciting triple bill, especially since tonight’s headliners were easy standouts at The Great Escape Festival just gone.

THE BIG NEU THING:
Jude Shuma - Subterranean Feelings

Jude Shuma is a Chicago artist who knows when to pounce. His ‘Subterranean Feelings’ song is one of two online at the moment, and it’s a gorgeous blend of psych and sudden instrumental bursts. He pierces through a smoky atmosphere with jolting percussion and waves of noise. It’s a beautiful, self-produced statement of intent.

OTHER NEU BUSINESS:
Man of Moon - The Road

Scottish group Man of Moon are a newly-established signing to Melodic Records. Debut single ‘The Red’ is a clattering, tightly-wound force. A mix between fellow Scots The Phantom Band and other-side-of-the-world contemporaries Tame Impala, it’s a sharp, razor-wired gloom-buster of a track. Get the single here.
